Avalanche warning for region Vest-Finnmark Friday 23.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Be aware of isolated wind slabs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new snow

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Thursday 22. April 2021

Det har dannet seg en skare over våt smelteomvandlet snø mange steder. Det er smelteriller i snøoverflaten opp til ca. 500 moh. I sørvendte fjellsider er snøen smelteomvandlet etter gjentatte smelte-fryse sykluser. I nordvendte fjellsider er snødekket hardere og består av eldre fokksnø.

Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn dypt i snødekket, men det skal trolig mye til for å påvirke dette.

Mountain weather

Thursday 22. April 2021

No precipitation. Cloudy.

Friday 23. April 2021

No precipitation. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Generelt stabile forhold. Bygevær gjør at det kan legge seg opp ferske fokksnøflak i enkelte heng, vær spesielt forsiktig hvis det ligger fersk fokksnø over solskare.

Det kan gå enkelte våte løssnøskred i bratte heng hvis det blir mye solinnstråling.
